A Word of God –
A test of your bible. Does it have the word ‘test’? If not, do you know what you are doing here? You are being tested. From a bible that does contain the word ‘test’, you are being refined, purified, and tested. Those with insight shall understand. Words have meaning and they can be mistranslated.

A Recapitulation –
A reinforcement, a necessary theory in understanding the Apocalypse first introduced by Victorinus of Pettau. It holds that the visions are not necessarily in chronological order and possibly a repetition of other visions. Many interpretation errors are a result of assuming the chapters are in chronological order.
A Revelation
A testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is he that readeth. Augustine read it. “Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?” Understanding it is a challenge. You may not have time for this. You may not have that much time. It’s later than you think. You may need help understanding it. Ask for it.

A Beast of Daniel –
A connection with the Apocalypse. John knows Daniel. Both have a beast with “ten horns” which should fit with history in the same way. This requires a close look at the King of the North and the King of the South. The fourth beast of Daniel was diverse from all the beasts and must show up somewhere in history.

A Recapitulation –
A commentary on the Apocalypse by Victorinus who introduced the theory of recapitulation. Without it misinterpretation is likely. The visions of John cannot be understood to be in chronological order. Each vision should be considered independent of the others. Some are a repetition of others. Recapitulation is a necessary tool in understanding the Apocalypse.

A Reason to Explain –
A need to understand what is written. From Augustine:
“What then, Brothers, shall we keep silence?
Why then read it if only to keep silence about it?
Or
why hear it if it is not to be explained?
But also,
why explain it if it is not to be understood?”

A Reason for Prophecy –
A search for understanding. Why, Where, Who, When, and What????? The answers should make sense. All the questions must be considered. For the most part we are limited to speculation which should be consistent with what we do know. The first question is Why. Why was the Apocalypse written?
